On Thursday, the NCAA softened its one-day old ban on Instagram. It appears the ruling body wasn't 100 percent clear about what Instagram does.

Instagram is a service that allows users to share photos more easily by using their mobile devices. A person takes a shot, uploads it, emails it, whatever. They also can enhance or edit the photo before sharing it.

The NCAA on Wednesday said college programs could no longer use Instagram as a recruiting tool if the photo had been altered in anyway, but the governing body wasn't specific. If it was brightened, is that a violation? If it was converted to black and white, is that wrong?

Today, the NCAA put out another statement clarifying what they meant:

“Schools can and do use Instagram in all sorts of ways: to promote events, post game highlights and give a sense of what it’s like to be on campus. We at the NCAA regularly use Instagram for similar purposes. There is no NCAA ban of Instagram. Schools just can't alter the content of photos – and to be clear, we do not consider Instagram’s filters as content alteration – and then email them directly to recruits.”

In other words, the NCAA doesn't want Instagram used to superimpose a photo of Tim Tebow shaking hands with a recruit the University of Florida is chasing, and then send it to the kid as a recruiting tool.
